New England Clam Chowder

This item is available for a limited time and cannot be added to a Registry.

Summary

New Englanders know that generous quantities of cream and fresh clams are key to the best chowders. Hancock Gourmet’s recipe delivers on both fronts: it’s packed with tender Maine clams and potatoes and smoothed out with butter, cream and a spike of Worcestershire sauce. The chowder includes two in-shell whole clams for classic presentation. Gently heat the soup and serve with oyster crackers or a warm baguette for a wonderful New England-inspired dinner.

32 oz. (serves 4-6 as an appetizer; 2-3 as an entrée).

Shipped frozen.

Made in USA.
